Western Lake Peninsula

Western Lake Peninsula, 8 x 10

sold

Another poor photo, but the painting I like. This is the inlet that welcomes everyone to Watercolor from the west. I liked theses five trees and the reeds and grasses that grow out with them. The ocean lies right behind the far trees and the dunes in the distance.

You make me want to come to Watercolor - I mean just the name of that place is compelling! This is so beautiful - great scale shift, wonderful simple shapes that perfectly express those trees, fab reflections... love it.

Thank you, all! The greens are always a challenge, but that's part of the fun. I like the composition of this one in particular, and kept referencing back to it on all the subsequent paintings I did on our trip.
